The New Covenant in Blood
Commentators explain that Jesus' phrase 'blood of the covenant' directly references the Old Covenant established by Moses with animal sacrifices (Exodus 24:8). By using His own blood, Jesus inaugurates a 'New Covenant'—a new and better agreement between God and humanity, ratified not by the blood of animals, but by His own life given as a sacrifice.
